1864 Proof Two Cent Pattern - J-373

Coin Details

Description

Judd-373, Pollock-444, is the penultimate 1864 two-cent pattern. This near-final variety represents one of the last experimental configurations tested before the adopted design entered production. The progression from J-305 in 1863 through J-373 in 1864 traces the complete development of the two-cent piece from initial concept to production-ready design, spanning twenty-six distinct varieties across two years. This remarkable series provides one of the most detailed records of coin design development in American numismatic history.
